# Certbot NGINX Unit plugin #

This is a certbot plugin for using certbot in combination with NGINX Unit https://unit.nginx.org/

## Requirement ##

The command `unitc` should be installed and executable.

## Current Features ##

* Supports NGINX Unit/1.31*
* Supports cerbot 2.12+ / 3+
* install certificates
* automatic renewal certificates

## Installation ##

* Via Snap (requires certbot to be installed via snap):

install [snapd](https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd)

install certbot
```
snap install --classic certbot
```
install and configure this plugin
```
sudo snap install certbot-nginx-unit
sudo snap set certbot trust-plugin-with-root=ok
sudo snap connect certbot:plugin certbot-nginx-unit
```

* Via Pip
```
pip install certbot certbot-nginx-unit
```

* Via Pip virtual env

Create a virtual environment, to avoid conflicts
```
python3 -m venv /some/path
```

use the pip in the virtual environment to install or update

```
/some/path/bin/pip install -U certbot certbot-nginx-unit
```

use the cerbot from the virtualenv, to avoid accidentally
using one from a different environment that does not have this library
```
/some/path/bin/certbot
```

or uninstall other certbot system installation and link it to /usr/bin
```
ln -s /some/path/bin/certbot /usr/bin
```

## Usage ##

Configure the unit listener with `*:80` or `*:443`

```
# unitc /config
```
```
{
"listeners": {
"*:80": {
"pass": "routes"
}
"routes": [
{
"action": {
"share": "/srv/www/unit/index.html"
}
}
]
}
}
```

Now, generate and automatically install the certificate with

```
# certbot --configurator nginx-unit -d www.myapp.com
```

The result is a certificate created and installed.

```
# unitc /certificates
```

```
{
"www.myapp.com_20240202145800": {
"key": "RSA (2048 bits)",
"chain": [
{

}
]
}
}
```
and the configuration updated

```
# unitc /config
```

```
{
"listeners": {
"*:80": {
"pass": "routes"
},

"*:443": {
"pass": "routes",
"tls": {
"certificate": [
"www.myapp.com_20240202145800"
]
}
}
},

"routes": [
{
"match": {
"uri": "/.well-known/acme-challenge/*"
},

"action": {
"share": "/srv/www/unit/$uri"
}
},
{
"action": {
"share": "/srv/www/unit/index.html"
}
}
]
}
```

## Auto-renew certificates ##

Certbot installs a timer on the system to renew certificates one month before the certificate expiration date.

## Multiple domains/applications ##

You can run the certbot command for each domain

```
# certbot --configurator nginx-unit -d www.myapp1.com
# certbot --configurator nginx-unit -d www.myapp2.com
# unitc '/config/listeners/*:443'
```

```
{
"pass": "routes",
"tls": {
"certificate": [
"www.myapp1.com_20240202145800"
"www.myapp2.com_20240202145800"
]
}
}
```
